Braxton-Hicks contractions. Basically it's practice contractions, her body getting ready for labor. But don't worry she still has awhile before she actually goes into labor.

That is called braxton hicks contractions or false labor contractions. Nothing to worry about, basically its the body practicing for when the real labor comes!

I believe she should have her OB check it out. It could be normal BH contractions But if she gets uncomfortable she really needs to go to Labor & Delivery.

They are what you call braxtron hicks (practice contractions) but if she gets uncomfortable she needs to call her dr.

braxton hicks contractions
these are common and they go on throughout the pregnancy.
The more times she gets pregnant the more she will feel them and they can become rather painful...I used mine to practice lamaze.
If you are concerned contact your doctor.

I think it's just gas. When my stomach's hard, that's usually what it means..........LOL.
